They stopped and asked if we had seen them. I asked them what kind of dog and they said "pit bull".
We told them where the routes were through community fencing and they went on their way.
I went in doors and called animal control.
Well, apparently the people found their dogs before the cops did so they still had them a few weeks later when they were out walking them.
Then one day I noticed they only had one dog to walk and he had on a muzzle.
More recently we came home one evening and that dog was there waiting for us and he tried to get in our car to get at a baked chicken we'd just picked up.
I haven't seen them out walking their dog for a couple of months now.
Those were such lovely dogs ~ just loved to run away and do dog stuff ~ and now they're gone. Funny, I don't miss them at all!
You apparently have a real problem with confusion between dogs on and off private property.
